Something I fully believe in, is complimentary bang trims for my regular clients. Its a win win win win win (endless wins!) situation. This is not your run of the mill two win occurrences.

Dont believe me? Let me count the wins.

Win 1- The haircut is suddenly fresh again! You can feel beautiful instead of miserable because you dont have a hair curtain in front of your eyes!

Win 2-The stylists clients haircut is suddenly fresh again! They are going to get hair compliments and probably tell people that you did it! Then you will get more business!

Win 3-It only takes 10 minutes, so you can squeeze them in (get squeezed in) almost any time, any day.

Win 4-Its a free and nice way to show your clients you care about their hair and are grateful for their business.

Win 5-You dont have to do it yourself and possibly ruin your entire haircut!

I think Win 5 is the biggest winner of them all.

May I make a suggestion? Dont see a stylist that doesnt offer free bang trims.

And on behalf of stylists everywhere I would like to casually mention that tipping your stylist for a bang trim is an extremely kind and welcomed gesture.

Heres to beautiful bangs!

I love this post. Im giving bangs another try next month after swearing Id never put myself through them again. I abhor growing them out and the in-between stages, but my stylist said its her job to make the process as easy as possible. Hopefully that means the complimentary trims you address here

I think you could do an entire post on tipping! For instance, in Atlanta, my haircut is $66 but my sweet, sweet stylist blows out my very curly, very think hair for me. She books my appointment for one hour instead of her regular 45 minute window. I want to tip her for the extra time, but Im not sure how much. I usually give her $90. What do you think?

As a stylist, I do this! And other stylists in my salon think Im crazy, but i see it as that little thing that shows the client you care. and I dont want to nickel and dime them to death. Just like babys first haircut with me is complimentary. I also dont expect a tip, but it is always nice. Id say check out how much a bang trim costs in surrounding salons and do 50% of that.

As a hairstylist, I give free bang trims to my clients. I started doing this because most of my clients would request that I cut their bangs shorter then they wanted, so they would last longer. But you just end up not liking them for a few weeks. So I always suggest that they come see me between haircuts, so they can have perfect bangs. Most of my clients tip $5-20 for a bang trim.
